Savage was a builder and served as an architect's local representative. In many cases he was awarded the commission to design stables and alterations such as at Chiltern. The main house was designed by William Longfellow.

This is a rare early sketch for the stable's elevation, less formal than other such early sketches. This building survives as a bed and breakfast.
